Kuwaiti Man Breaks Delivery Worker’s Hand, Smashes Police Officer with Ashtray

KUWAIT CITY, April 29: A Kuwaiti citizen is facing two felony charges and one misdemeanor after allegedly assaulting a food delivery worker and later attacking a police officer inside a police station. 

The incident reportedly began when the man placed a food order from a local restaurant to his residence in Mubarak Al-Kabeer. Upon delivery, a dispute broke out over the contents of the order. The argument escalated, and the citizen allegedly assaulted the deliveryman, resulting in a broken hand. The injured worker later went to the local police station to file a complaint, presenting a medical report that confirmed the fracture. The suspect was subsequently summoned for questioning.

During the interrogation, the situation took a violent turn. The suspect is accused of grabbing a cigarette ashtray from the desk and striking one of the officers on the head, causing a significant injury that required hospital treatment and stitches.

Police officers managed to restrain the suspect, who was then taken into custody. The assaulted officer was transferred to the hospital for medical care. As a result, authorities have filed two felony cases against the suspect — one for assault and causing serious bodily harm to the delivery worker, and another for assaulting a public official. A misdemeanor charge has also been filed in connection with the attack on the police officer. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecution Office for further legal action.

Egyptian Stole Half a Million… Then Opened a Beauty Clinic — Now He’s in Kuwait Jail

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: The Court of Cassation has sentenced an Egyptian national to 10 years in prison with hard labor for charges of breach of trust, embezzlement, and money laundering during his time as a financial manager at the Kuwait Teachers Association.

In addition to the prison term, the court ordered the defendant to pay a fine of approximately KD 1 million and ruled that he be deported from the country upon completion of his sentence.

The case dates back to 2018, when the accused was found to have manipulated the association’s accounts, repeatedly increasing his own salary, issuing unauthorized payments, and disbursing checks that bounced. Investigations revealed that he had exploited his position to issue five unapproved checks and embezzled over KD 500,000, which he funneled into a private business venture.

The stolen funds were allegedly used to open a cosmetic clinic, which generated over KD 400,000 in profits. The court viewed this as a clear case of laundering illicit gains under the guise of legitimate investment.

The final ruling brings an end to a high-profile case that highlighted serious breaches of financial oversight within the association.

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: As part of its ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking and the illegal issuance of visas, the Ministry of Interior, through the General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations and its Inspection Department, has uncovered a new case involving a Kuwaiti citizen who misused his authority for financial gain.

According to officials, the department received a tip-off about a Kuwaiti citizen authorized to sign on behalf of 25 companies and 4 affiliated businesses. He was found to have used these companies to illegally register expat workers and sell visas. A total of 56 workers were registered under these firms, including three violators of residency laws and three who had breached the terms of their visas. Investigators also discovered that some workers were employed by entities other than those sponsoring their residency.

Upon being summoned and confronted with the evidence, the accused confessed to facilitating the issuance of residency permits in exchange for payments ranging from KD 350 to KD 1,200. He admitted receiving these sums through two intermediaries (one Syrian and one Indian) without the workers actually being employed.

All individuals involved have been referred to the appropriate legal authorities for further action.

The General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations emphasized its continued commitment to intensifying crackdowns on human trafficking. The department urged both citizens and residents to report any suspicious activity to help safeguard the nation’s security and social stability.
